Hotmail founder Sabeer Bhatia, along with Yogesh Patel, has announced the launch of JaxtrSMS, a cross-platform, texting application that allows one to send SMS over the Internet to any other cell phone user around in your country or any where in the world. What makes JaxtrSMS stand apart from other over-the-internet SMS application is that JaxtrSMS allows you to send messages from your own number. This means that recipients see your number and name and not that of JaxtrSMS as the message sender. Additionally, the recipient doesn’t need to be a JaxtrSMS user in order to receive messages.

The app automatically integrates with your address book allowing you to conveniently add contacts from your phone memory in the recipient field. The app uses WiFi or 3G/2G data services to send the message and behaves like regular SMS. If the receiver has JaxtrSMS installed on their phones, then the message appears as part of a threaded conversation within the app with special notifications. Non-JaxtrSMS users receive the SMS in their regular SMS inbox.

The free app is compatible with Android, iOS, BlackBerry, Symbian and Java-based devices.

The permissions mentioned are required for the app to function. Compare permissions required by WhatsApp, another free SMS app. Aren't they similar? Maybe an Android developer can explain to you why these permissions are required.

It's good to be cautious but you don't have to be paranoid. Jaxtr doesn't send SMS or call random persons. Just because an app CAN do something doesn't mean it WILL.

Today, I installed the JaxtrSMS app on my phone, I insert the data that were requested by app and then I selected the option "Register", but thereafter I dont received any information that the registration was successful.

I know that was sent an sms by my phone to somewhere after I select the option "Register", and at the same time was charged the price of one sms.

I would like to use the app, but it seems that the registration process was not successful, could you help me please?

Hey you jaxtr people!Why won't you have this "CERTIFICATE EXCEPTION" thing solved already?We need to start using this app!It's reall a huge setback.You have to solve it SOON and not offer excuses that "We are aware of this issue and our Technical Team is currently working on it to have it resolved at the earliest.
